Sean Kendall had succumbed to a peaceful existence in his new home nestled deep within the majestic wilderness of Washington?s North Cascades. Leaving behind the hectic Seattle high tech world, he cashed in his 401k, content to enjoy his new found solace. Venturing on an early morning hike, his world of serenity comes crashing to a brutal halt as he follows a bloody trail of prints in the snow and stumbles onto a series of slain animals. Enlisting the help of his friend, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Officer Adam Raines, they find themselves hot on the trail of a deadly poaching ring. As they close in, they are horrified to find that the poachers are merely the fringe of a far more sinister enemy - a group of right-wing extremists that call themselves the ?Blue Army?. As Sean and Adam edge closer to the truth, they uncover an insidious plot to assault a Free-Trade Conference being held in Seattle. Further complicating his once peaceful world, Sean finds himself falling for Miranda Shaw, a vivacious, auburn-haired visitor to the Cascades. The budding romance swiftly becomes one of volatility as Sean begins to indict Miranda?s cousins as prime suspects in the Blue Army?s plans. Sean struggles against his feelings for Miranda, a government that won?t listen and a deadly race against the clock to stop the terrorists and save thousands of lives.
